I warned Troy not to hit me again. He asked me ‘to take it outside’ numerous times. I was unable to leave the restaurant, as he blocked my exit. I asked employees to call the police. Employees tried to hold Troy Platt back….from going after me.

They asked for my ID. I complied. They asked me what happened. I did. Officer asked if I needed ambulance. I said ‘I don’t think so.’ Officer asked me if I wanted to press charges. Once again….I said ‘I don’t think so.’

I then left the restaurant.

I prefer NOT to press charges against Troy Platt. I don’t really want to get a restraining order either.

I do not want this unfortunate incident to affect Troy’s employment with MMSC.

As you all know, I fully support and endorse MMSC. My family visits often. They buy & contribute.

Until further notice, we will suspend our visits to MMSC….until we’re assured that Troy Platt will never do this again.

We also believe Troy Platt needs to apologize to:

Restaurant

Teen patrons that witnessed this

Brigantine PD

MMSC

I do trust that all of you, will take proper measures… to ensure this NEVER happens again.

It’s a shame that adults don’t know how to behave. Change will come eventually. Yes, Brig. has surplus budget money. It needs to be spent cautiously, or the taxes could be frozen for a few years. At least the other shore towns have an amazing library, or some other perk that the whole community can enjoy. Stop spending it on creating more patronage jobs that pay $140K per year for working 4 days a week. There’s an old saying: “Little pigs get fed. Big pigs get slaughtered.” Brigantine’s greed has been at Big Pig level for some time now. https://www.phillymag.com/news/2017/01/07/jersey-shore-politics… Read more »
